Quentin; It is a pleasant event when someone has something that works as it should ( advertised) . Quality is disappearing ,it seems quantity is the rule.I can picture your shiny green lawn minus evil weeds in my minds eye.
Respectfully, Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
switch7frg~~~ I would guess the blade on the lawn motor is still sharp. So would now be a good time to drop the deck pan and hook up the auger / snow blower to practiceon the leftover leaves
Don't even want to think of the snowy Winter Cannonball.....But coincidently, yesterday I did a really concentrated mowing, meaning I worked on cutting grass and working on leaves. Overlapping by at least half on some areas, and some other tricks, we really got the green showing thru again 100%. By the looks of it, getting on the lawn at least once a week and doing as described above, we're winning the battle over the wind and neighbor's leaves....I don't have any, they're all evergreens. Really looks nice in our bright sunshiny morning being nice and deep green. And.....I doubt if I will have to bag one bag of leaves this season....! Being retired and more time to do stuff like this, one becomes a bit smarter in efficiency. Finely ground up leaves decaying on the lawn adds nutrients too. Plus the 4 applications of fert. seasonally, it makes a nice lawn if one gets a decent amount of rain.
PS: Tractor is put away at the end of mowing season in little barn out back, and it doesn't fight with Winter at all. By the way, it is a mulching type mower that allows me to do as I mentioned above. Well worth it.

When I was little, my family lived not too far from Warren Buffett. In fact, he was close enough that we could go by his house when I went trick-or-treating. His porch light was never on...
Cloudy and 30 degrees to start off the day in Omaha. We're headed for a high temperature in the mid 50s. By Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, we can expect mid to upper 60s.
I hope everyone has a good day!

We don't vote here today, but we should have a state holiday after I read that Warren Buffett bought BNSF. What a shock along with my coffee. I think I am smiling, but tenatively. Now - will he build a big building next to the UP building in Omaha?
Maybe he will want to open a Lincoln office.....????

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Crispy Cremes are OK, but I don't think I could live with a constant diet of their signature donut. Daughter used to relate stories of the kids from her college in VA heading down to the local CC (now closed) when the "fresh" sign was on...
Cool this AM after a bit of rain overnight. Looks to be a decent day.
Whatever your political persuasion, get out and vote today. (And that's as political as this poster is going to get.) I forgot to get up early this AM and vote, so I'll do it after work - and maybe pick up a roast beef dinner from the church, too.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Cannonball, good to see you made it in for a few last night! Hope you and Shirl are both well.
Our high yesterday was 65, and we're to get that temp today. It's 49 degrees currently here in Louisville. Supposed to be another beautiful day.
Just across the river from us, in Clarksville, IN, they had a new Krispy Kreme dougnut shop open at 5 a.m. this morning. The first new Krispy Kreme to open in 40 some odd years. The first person in the door this morning, got free doughnuts for a year (and no, it wasn't me).
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are ready to go, and there's plenty of hot water for our hot tea drinkers.
Regular breakfast menu is on the warmer bar, along with Mookie's bagels and Larry's bear claws, and whomever else wants bagels and/or bear claws.
I hope you all have a very good morning, and enjoy the day ahead. I'll see you all a little bit later.
Quentin; ~~~ I would guess the blade on the lawn motor is still sharp. So would now be a good time to drop the deck pan and hook up the auger / snow blower to practiceon the leftover leaves ??? LOL Of all things , we are having a heat spell ( temps in the day @ 90deg.) . Maby Willy2 could send us a low pressure spell for a few weeks. Stay warm & dry. Respectfully, Cannonball
CW, thanks for supper.
Our school hasn’t changed their clocks back. We get out at 3:05pm, so the clocks said it was 4:05 when we got out. Kind of awkward.
Had a good day over all. Hoping the turnouts for my layout will be coming soon.
See you al later.

cherokee womanAlso, next Friday, the 13th, I won't be in until around mid afternoon.
In the immortal words of Pogo Possum, Friday the 13th will be on a Friday this month....
Got a meeting after work. In fact, I've got a bunch of meetings this week... Sheesh!
Well, I made it back, all in one piece, albeit, a very tired, and achy piece. Had to do a lot of standing, which I can't seem to do too much of anymore, as my hips start to ache very much.
For supper tonight, there is:
1. Leftover roast, taters, carrots, etc. from yesterday and
2. Sloppy joes w/fried and garden salad
I did make a mistake this morning on my appointment calendar. So I will be in here tomorrow. It is next Monday that I will not be in here around lunch time. Also, next Friday, the 13th, I won't be in until around mid afternoon.
It shaped up to be a pretty good day here, with plenty of sunshine, with a very light breeze blowing. Everyone enjoy the rest of the afternoon and evening and you all take care.
40 degrees earlier this morning....Not bad, with light clouds and some sun. To be 58 by afternoon and I intend to take advantage of that to do yard work.....Leaves, etc.....{The tractor will do it}. Looks like a generally calm week weather wise.
Wow.....Thanksgiving sneaking up on us already.
The shreader is being worked pretty hard behind me in here this morning, as Jean is catching up on getting rid of stuff that accumulates.
Frosty morning here in the north woods of the Empire State. At least the sun was out for my drive to work (thanks to that pesky time change).
Even though I really didn't get to bed all that early, at least I enjoyed the "extra hour" of sleep...
'Claw and tea and a seat in the new corner booth.
a clear and cool start this morning.matt is on time for the bus.Cw thanks for breakfast.time to get a nap then going to do some chores.Yep I guess more fans in green bay aren't going to wear # 4 anymore.
I've been extremely busy at work, and this week is shaping up to be a continuation of same...
Brian (IA) http://blhanel.rrpicturearchives.net.
Good Monday morning, everyone. Brian, it's good to see you got to make it in here last night! You are another one who has been missed in here (at least by me!).
Coffee, juices, and our hot beverages are ready, along with plenty of hot water for hot tea.
On the warmer bar this morning: all the normal goodies (breakfast menu, including prerequisite bagels and bear claws).
For your lunch today, I've got a couple of choices for you all in the slow cookers, heating for the day. I have another meeting to go to this morning, and will probably be gone until sometime this afternoon, so I won't be around. Also, tomorrow, I go back to the orthotics center, and not only will I won't be in here, but I won't be taking care of Tuesday Produce, either.
So you all have a good morning, and take care.
JoeKohWonder if a certain viking will get pelted with cheese this afternoon.
Joe, looks like that certain Viking had the last laugh...
Drag, drag, drag, collapse.
Just got in from at trip to NJ with our railroad's master mechanic. Left here early Saturday morning, got there just in time to catch the train in Phillipsburg. Rode in the hack for part of the trip, with the conductor. Spent time in the cab of Susquehanna 142, too. And it rained...
Left there this morning with a planned stop at Steamtown. After paying a visit to the GVT dispatcher (in the Bridge 60 tower), with whom we regularly converse when getting our Form D's, we toured Steamtown and took a ride behind 2317 around the yard.
Swung by Tunkahannock Viaduct (as well as Martin's Creek) on the way north, too.
I'm pooped.
Justin.....Look in the current {December} issue of TRAINS mag. and you will find a photo that was taken {in Lafayette}, same location your previous Avatar photo was snapped. Don't have the mag. in front of me now, but believe it was page 58.
Paula,
Thanks for supper. I have something to add.
My mom has prepared a sugar cream pie for us. I also have an apple pie, coconut cream pie, and cheery pie. Yall’ eat up now.
A nippy 33* this morning. Not sure of the temp now, but I know is supposed to be cool.
Have a good evening.
Dan! It is SO GOOD to see you back in here: you have been missed!!
The roast, taters, carrots have been taken out of one of the Crock Pots/slow cookers, and is now on the warmer bar. Here is your choices of vegetables/side dishes to go with them: green beans, creamed corn, whole kernal corn, broccoli w/butter sauce, brussels sprouts w/cheese sauce, baked cornbread (unsweetened & cake-like sweetened), crescent rolls, homemade buttermilk biscuits, and there's plenty of beef gravy.
Desserts today: pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake (tastes just like a spice cake), yellow cake w/chocolate icing, along with all the Halloween candies, including the good chocolate candy treats) and coconut cream pie.
Believe our high today is to be in the upper 50s, maybe low 60s. Everyone enjoy your afternoon, and take care.
off to church and sunday school.Matt and I had a good time at BOO town and the parade last night.When we were done they were still floats and groups for about two blocks to go through town.Cw thanks for supper for tonight.Wonder if a certain viking will get pelted with cheese this afternoon.
Joe
A 'brisk' 34 this morning. Leaves were crunchy when the 4 legged vacuum cleaners went out to relieve themselves. I'll spend the AM with Misty and Aedan, and then the afternoon will be spent attempting to control the 'tree rat' population around Waupaca. Hopefully...I'll be able to sneak back to Anton Siding (near Weyauwega...sorta) and catch CN today.
Dan
34 degrees, lots of frost and bright sunshine blazing in my eastern window now. Clear skies and I believe we're to have quite a bit of it this week.
Most of our clocks are now changed,,,,but not quite all.....Think there is something like 17 or 18 of them. Watch changed at midnight and 3 of my other {radio controlled} clocks changed sometime during the night....I imagine at 2 am....but I certainly wasn't up to see...
Now it's get the one's in the veh's changed....and several others yet. Oh, will it ever get dark early this evening.....Sundown here, about 5:45. Now we'll just have to push Fall / Winter along as fast as we can.
Good Sunday morning. Tom, thanks for making the move. All the furniture, railroad layouts, CD player, juke box, all the tables, booths, and et.al. have been moved over. (The pumpkins were left behind, though.
Coffee, juices, hot drinks are ready to go. On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: oatmeal, grits, toast, biscuits & gravy, bacon (turkey and pork), pork sausage, scrambled eggs, tater tots, hash brown taters, pancakes and waffles, along with oranges, bananas, strawberries, blueberries.
Everyone enjoy your breakfast, have a good morning, and if you'll be heading out to Church, work, or whatever you have planned for this morning, be safe and take care. (P.S.: I just got the Crock Pots/Slow Cookers started with roast, tater, carrots in them for our Sunday Dinner. If you'd like to have any other meals this afternoon, let me know and I'll get started on preparing/fixing them.)
..bring your good candy (chocolate) and fruit.
Johnny
......And just leave all the jack O lanterns at the old place. And any and all pumpkins.
This is our new location, folks. All hands lay back to the yall haul and bring the tables, java machine and stock over here. See ya later
